The City of Turku has set a goal of being carbon neutral by 2029. To achieve this goal both residents and businesses are needed, in addition to the actions taken by the city. The 1.5-degree campaign wants to encourage you to ponder climate-friendly actions that are suitable for you.

SO, WHAT IS THIS “WE LIKE OUR CITY COOL” THING?

  • “We like our city cool” is the slogan of the climate campaign of the City of Turku.  It speaks of the pride that the people of Turku feel for their home city, which is a forerunner in climate matters. It also reflects a spirit of cooperation – we can all take part in making Turku carbon neutral by 2029. So let's give a cold shoulder to climate change.

The “We like our city cool” climate-friendly lifestyle must be possible

The Turku city area has already succeeded in cutting its emissions by half of what they were in 1990. The achievement is truly significant, because the number of residents in the area and its economic activities have grown in that time. The greatest reductions in emissions have been in the energy sector, in the production of electricity and district heat.

To enable individual Turku residents to reduce their emissions through their own choices, they need to have something to choose from. This campaign brings together services produced by the city organisation for you, and by selecting them you can live more sustainably from the point of view of the climate. 

Already 16 actors are involved with their own actions, and the number of possible individual choices is growing constantly.

The campaign will continue in the autumn. Follow the city's Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts, join in the discussion, and share your own climate tips under the hashtags #hiilineutraali2029 #turku #kylmääki.
